Breathing Pattern Variability in Preterm Infants: Effect of Non-invasive Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (NAVA-NIV) Versus Nasal Intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation (PC-NIV), a Crossover Study
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Respiratory support: NAVA -NIV and PC-NIV for Neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome and Prematurity. Completed, enrolled 25 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The current study is a crossover trial, aiming at evaluating the effect of NAVA -NIV compared to Nasal Intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation (PC-NIV) at the same level of peak inspiratory pressure, in terms of: breath-by-breath variability of tidal breathing amplitude, variability of the other breathing patterns; lung mechanics; gas exchange; rate of episodes of apnea; bradycardia and desaturations; respiratory asynchrony and comfort, in preterm infants \< 37+0 weeks+days post-menstrual age.
